Right smack in the middle of Women's History Month, MARGARET THE FIRST turns ten! 🎂 @catapultbooks.bsky.social

For Women's History Month we rec Nathalie Léger's triptych: EXPOSITION, SUITE FOR BARBARA LODEN, and THE WHITE DRESS. In each, Léger sets the story of a female artist against the background of her own life and research—an archivist’s journey into the self, into the lives that history hides from us.
